@chilly-king-10285 How to set the session lifespan of kratos?
c
A message from kapa.ai
To set the session lifespan in Ory Kratos, you can follow these steps: 1. Go to the Ory Console at
<https://console.ory.sh/>
and navigate to Session Settings. 2. Enter the desired lifespan in the appropriate format (hours, minutes, seconds). For example, to set the session lifespan to 30 days, enter
720h
. 3. Click the Save button. Alternatively, you can use the Ory CLI to change the session lifespan: 1. Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file using the following commands:
Copy code
bash ## List all available projects   ory list projects      ## Get config   ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
2. Update the configuration value for session lifespan property to the desired value in the
identity-config.yaml
file:
Copy code
yaml session:   cookie:    domain: {project.slug}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>    name: ory_session_{name}    path: /    persistent: false    same_site: Lax   lifespan: 720h
3. Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:
Copy code
bash ory update identity-config {project-id} --file identity-config.yaml
For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/session-lifespan).

Yes, you can set the session lifespan in the configurations of Ory Kratos. Here's how you can do it: 1. Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file using the following commands:
Copy code
bash ## List all available projects   ory list projects      ## Get config   ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
2. Update the configuration value for session lifespan property to the desired value in the
identity-config.yaml

3. Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:

@chilly-king-10285 there is not identity-config file in the kratos
c
A message from kapa.ai
I apologize for the confusion. The session lifespan in Ory Kratos is typically set in the Ory Kratos configuration file, not the identity-config file. However, the extracts provided do not include specific instructions or examples for setting the session lifespan in the Ory Kratos configuration file. In general, you would need to locate the session property in your Ory Kratos configuration file (usually a .yaml or .json file), and set the lifespan property to your desired value. The specific property might look something like this:
Copy code
yaml session:   lifespan: 720h
Please refer to the [Ory Kratos documentation](https://www.ory.sh/kratos/docs/) for more detailed instructions and examples.

@chilly-king-10285 what is project ID
c
A message from kapa.ai
The project ID is a unique identifier for your specific project within the Ory ecosystem. When you create a project in Ory, it is assigned a unique ID which is used to reference that project in various operations, such as fetching configuration or updating settings. In the context of the commands provided in the extracts, the
{project-id}
placeholder should be replaced with your actual project ID. For example, if your project ID was
1234
, the command to update the identity configuration would look like this:
Copy code
bash ory update identity-config 1234 --file identity-config.yaml
Please note that the exact method to obtain your project ID may vary depending on the specifics of your Ory setup. If you're unsure, please refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/) or your project's settings in the Ory console.
